The extensive and modern highways passing through the city of Santiago offer an interesting field of study, research and reflection on the mechanisms of construction of the contemporary city. In addition to generating a series of adverse effects on the urban fabric and city dwelling, is criticized the relevance of addressing the problem of traffic congestion through construction of highways that are designed in view of a business logic associated directly to the economic benefits of mobility, rather than a comprehensive vision aimed to increase urban value, which these large investments could provide. In this context, the project proposes new mechanisms of perception, experimentation and re -appropriation of the urban landscape for the purpose of generating systems on the one
Thesis project 2011 hand , be able to bring new meaning to experience traffic and mobility –in terms of symbolic and cultural construction- and , on the other, becoming a source for space reference and orientation related to the transited areas. Based on the limited possibilities offered by the existing road infrastructure, a door opens to an alternative intangible construction linked to the production of a landscape that is experienced on the basis of variable georeferenced sounds. With this, a new perspective is proposed: intervention on the urban landscape space conceived as a flexible, mutable and ever-changing field; more suited to a society in transformation and to allow citizens to feel more involved and have a closer relationship with the surrounding environment.

Commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works of the Government of Chile (MOP), the proposal was raised around the issue of residual spaces generated by the network of urban highways of Santiago. The section that MOP assigned to Diego Portales University was the Costanera Norte highway and, for this, seven points in conflict were located along the route and distributed among the student groups of the workshop. This proposal was located between the districts of Renca and Quinta Normal which are divided by the Mapocho River and crossed by an acti-
Residual Spaces Recovery 2010 ve railway. On the west bank of the river lies the Renca Thermoelectric, while in the east, there are several industries emplaced near the train line. In this context, the possibilities of intervention were very complex since being an industrial area, the place did not present enough population density, it has all possible lines of movement interrupted by the river as well as by the railroad, and it was an area of obvious social risk for the presence of illegal land grabs and trash collection. To all this, must be added the ongoing construction of

Costanera Sur highway.
Urban Re-generation
Given this scenario, there was no room for conventional solutions and the intervention plan consisted of projecting a vertical artifact that, on one hand, took care of the lack of visual references for users of the highway making the place appear and, on the other, sought to be established as a core of urban regeneration. The conceptual strategy was to give new prominence to the place encouraging inhabitants (of InĂŠs SuĂĄrez neighbourhood) to take ownership of the site and become a point of reconquest of social activity.

Poblacion Inés de Suarez
La población más cercana a nuestro no lugar es la Inés de Suarez, una población bien constituida de alrededor de 150 familias. Para esta población la zona del puente esta estigmatizada por lo que resulta ser nuestro público objetivo
Conectividad
Actualmente existe una conexión peatonal espontanea, reciclaje de un antiguo puente ferroviario. Nuestra idea es fomentar y potenciar este flujo haciéndolo accesible y seguro.
Areas verdes
La termoeléctrica tira al aire vapor de agua, la vegetación silvestre abunda en este lugar. Estando ahí puede percibirse una pequeña llovizna constante. La idea es poder aprovecharse de esta agua constante para el riego y utilización de aguas.
Cancha explanada
Existe una pequeña cancha de babyfutbol actualmente en desuso ya que no cuenta con la iluminación ni seguridad necesarias.
Maquinaria verde
La maquinaria verde será nuestra bandera de colonización con la cual produciremos energía y se aportara con el equipamiento de actividades recreativas.
Programa panoptico
El equipamiento de la zona atraerá mayor actividad social. No existe mejor seguridad que la misma gente, por lo que nuestra apuesta es que el panóptico se produzca por una acción social.
Vinculacion visual con C.norte
La maquinaria verde generará contacto con la C.norte. Ya sean con publicidades o mensajes de la comunidad hacia la autopista generando un vínculo entre ambos mundos.
Puente abierto control visual
El actual puente genera puntos ciegos los cuales son aprovechados de mala manera por delincuentes. La idea es abrir los espacios con el fin de generar mayor control visual sobre los transeuntes que cruzen el puente peatonal.

Using the large amount of waste that was originated during and after earthquake as the main protagonist, reflection arises around the country geological condition. By using the great symbolic and memorial value of these elements, the memorial seeks for giving them a new meaning as landmark of the damage caused, leaving a permanent sign of our seismic country condition.

The project for earthquake memorial was planned as a major corridor of encounter with the earth. It aims to produce a confrontation with the catastrophe through the rediscovery of the elements that originated: land and water. In addition, it is exposed as a visible trace of damage suffered by the inclusion of the rubble resulting from the tragedy.

Naltahua Smelter The project aims to establish a relationship among all elements of the landscape, taking advantage of a strategic location, historical and natural components that give value to the environment. Thus, it is proposed to build routes of historical recognition that provide interest to towns like Pe単aflor, Talagante, El Monte and Isla de Maipo, establishing strategic points in the central square of each town, offering from there, the available possibilities that visitors have. For its historical significance and strategic location, El Monte is positioned as a cultural capital of the area from where it will connect to the possible routes that lie around. In addition, a project is proposed by using the ruins of the Naltahua Smelter, place that gives faithful witness to the economic and cultural development of the area. Through a varied program offer, it seeks to promote the place
Connection & Regeneration 2009 as cultural convergence zone. The area of the foundry has a number of features that allow to thinking it as a strategic center of landscape planning. Geomorphically, has a privileged position in relation to the views from the sector. In connectivity terms, it has direct access from the Del Sol Highway, an artery with a large influx of tourists that goes mainly towards the central coast or, in lesser extent, to the area of Pomaire, renowned for its handicrafts in clay and typical cuisine. Thus, the Naltahua foundry is established as a real possibility of sustainable tourist development. The project aims to organize a program of restoration and recovery of mining complex that includes the incorporation of various elements in order to revalue the land that today is in a state of neglect.

Performances of Conquest Venice Architecture Biennale Occupation, appropriation and imposition are some actions that are currently taking place on Chilean soil. These actions are presented by using three different cases: the first one refers to Santiago’s Plaza Italia, located in the city’s central district. This location constitutes the place to witness many collective actions executed by groups and individuals that congregate to ‘appear’ in front of society, they are all of a sudden temporal occupants that charge the territory in symbolic terms. What happens here is relevant because it constitutes an embodied display (in terms of resistance or joy) on a
public realm. Public manifestations in Plaza Italia are of public interests for the Chilean society; the ground of this territory literally reflects the collective desires that people have. The second case refers to Puerto Viejo Bay in northern Chile. It corresponds to a small group of individuals that live by the seashore in an improvised ‘resort’ made of precarious houses. This location was built up by the appropriation of the ground and it is the representation of an action won by arguments about needs and rights. The third case is the Castro Shopping Mall in the island of Chiloé, in the south of Chile.The case here

people could be understood as environmental performances that shape the perception we have of social spaces. The notion of performance,when associated to the act of the architect, enables the analysis of human actions taking place in the many diffe-
rent contexts where they are located. It reflects the goals and effects caused by the construction of new participatory spaces that, in the majority of the cases here, refer to matters of social, political and cultural characteristics. (Text by Rodrigo Tisi)

Power Huemul is a tactical urbanism action that consists in a series of activities to encourage participation of the community around the problems and possibilities of their neighborhood. It is conceived as an urban intervention that neighbors carry out with help of instructors and volunteers organized according specific work themes. The intervention is non-profit, temporary and its main objective is to become an instance to identify and socialize in an accessible manner the various problems associated with the neighborhood. In this sense, the intervention is de-

Thus, the initiative was proposed as the initial part of a process that seeks to generate encounters within the community in order to climb to the authorities and settle on public responsibility agendas.

Anti-Postcards
Santiago: Socioeconomic Stereotypes 2010
Illustrations
The work is to propose a line of postcards with a critical approach of a particular feature of the city of Santiago. Thus, the (anti) postcards should not expose a tourist image of the beauties of the city but portray some reality or situation difficult to see with a naked eye. For this, a cartography showing the use of land among different socioeconomic strata and how these are distributed in each commune was carried out. With this information, a line of postcards was generated showing stereotypical characters depicted in a cartoon style which can be built based on each socio-economic group and various architectural elements with they interact.
